Ramsey Wind Farm extension

Renewable Energy Generation Limited ("REG") (AIM: WIND), the UK renewable energy group, today announces that Huntingdonshire District Council has resolved to grant planning permission for an extension to its operating Ramsey wind farm.

Construction of four new turbines adjacent to the existing Vestas 1.8MW machine will boost the site's clean energy output to around 27GWh per annum, making it one of REG's most productive wind farms.

Formal planning permission is expected to follow shortly and subject to the expiry of the three month legal challenge period, the project is expected to enter construction in 2014.

Andrew Whalley, REG Chief Executive Officer, said: "The existing turbine has performed extremely well since we installed it in 2008 so the extra four turbines will be an excellent addition to REG's portfolio.

"Achieving a resolution to grant planning permission at local authority level is tremendously welcome as it avoids the need to enter the time-consuming appeal process."
